Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is constructed such that the front surface of a game island in which game devices are juxtaposed is provided with a door body that can swing and open toward a passage on the front side of the game island. The present invention relates to a gaming facility in which all or part of the gaming device is mounted on the body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an example of a game machine, a plurality of game machines such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine in which all or a part of a game machine is mounted on a door body is shaken with the door body facing the aisle. There is one that is arranged in a freely openable and closable state to form a game island. By swinging the door body open, you can inspect the game device attached to the door body from the back side and the back of the game device. Although it is configured to be able to inspect the auxiliary device provided in the, it is necessary to change the external appearance design of the game board, operation panel member, etc. which are exterior parts that are mounted on the door body while being exposed to the aisle side. If you want to replace it with another gaming device,
Replacing the gaming table itself has a drawback that the replacement cost is expensive. Conventionally, in a pachinko machine, a winning device, which is a part of the pachinko game machine, is attached to a door body formed in a rectangular frame having an opening. If you want to replace the game board to which the board is attached from the inside of the door body with the board surface of the game board looking outward from the opening, and want to replace it with another pachinko game machine, Remove the game board with the winning device from the inside of the door body, and install another game board with the winning device from the inside of the door body with its board surface looking outward from the opening,
Some doors themselves are reusable.

[0003]

According to the above-mentioned prior art, when a game machine is replaced with another game machine, the size and shape of the exterior component desired outward from the door opening of the other game machine is the opening. In order to replace with another game device that is restricted by the size and shape of the opening and the appearance design of the exterior parts must be changed over a wide range that exceeds the size and shape of the opening, a member in the range that exceeds the size and shape of the opening As for the above, it is manufactured separately from the member that can be mounted from the inside of the door body, and this is separately provided from the outside of the door body along the outer peripheral edge of the opening.
There is a problem that it is necessary to attach it, and it takes time and effort to manufacture and attach another member, and a member desired from the opening to the outside and another member attached from the outside of the door body along the outer peripheral edge of the opening are provided. Since they are mounted separately, there is also a problem that the relative mounting positions of these members are displaced and the appearance design is easily damaged. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and by modifying the mounting structure for the door of the game device, the appearance design of the exterior component can be changed over a wide range beyond the size and shape of the opening. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming facility in which the gaming device can be easily manufactured and mounted on a door body even when the gaming device is replaced with another gaming device that requires the game device, and can be mounted without damaging the appearance design.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the characterizing feature of the present invention is that, in the introduction game facility, all or part of the game device mounted on the door is exposed to the passage side. It is constituted by connecting front and rear an exterior component mounted in a state of being mounted and an interior component mounted in a state of being hidden from the passage side, and inserting the interior component from the front side of the door body to the back side thereof. A mountable opening is provided in the door body, and the exterior component is mounted so as to cover the peripheral edge of the opening with the interior component mounted on the back side of the door body. This is the point, and the following operational effects are obtained from this configuration.

[0005]

By inserting the interior part from the front side of the door into the opening and mounting it on the back side of the door, at the same time, the exterior part can also be mounted on the door with the passage exposed. Need only have a size and shape that allows the interior parts to be inserted, and the size and shape of the exterior parts can be changed without being restricted by the size and shape of the opening. Since the exterior component is mounted so as to cover the peripheral edge of the opening in the state where the exterior component is mounted on, the appearance design of the exterior component can be formed in series.

[0006]

Therefore, even when the game machine is replaced with another game machine which requires a change in the external appearance design of the exterior part over a wide range beyond the size and shape of the opening, the exterior part is not divided and manufactured. The exterior component and the interior component can be integrally attached to the door body, and the game device can be easily manufactured and attached to the door body, and can be attached without damaging the appearance design.
